Bangalore is the ultimate city name.

I notice everyone parroting off these city names, but does anyone know what the names actually mean?
Take Kuala Lumpur for example, a city name I have always be partial to because IMO it is one of the nicer sounding names for a capital city in the world - it has a magical quality, rolling sensuously of the tongue hinting of far eastern exotic delights...
So it may come as a bit of a shock when you find out that KL actually means 'Muddy Confluence'. The point where two rivers meet in the centre of town...
And no, it doesn't even look impressive...
My favourites have to be:
Ouagadougou
Reykjavik
Zanzibar
And no, I don't know what their names mean...

Yes, as well as 'Blue Balls' and '**** in Hand'. Those Amish were sex crazed.
You missed out the nearby 'Virginville', but at this rate they may have to change their name soon...

Yes, that's right. A lot of things here have the name of a place. I think in most of the cases is just lack of originality.Quilmes is a town from Argentina + a beer from there right?-El patriotismo no es más que egoÃsmo en masa.

Well, names of my region may be nice...
like "Pila", which means a saw, but it means "she drank"
as well, or "Upita", which means "drunken (woman)"...
But I like names of cities such like
Amorion, Filomelion, etc... perhaps I just like "on" at the end... hm... Szczebreszynon... doesn't that sound nice?"I realise I hold the key to freedom,
